WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Gen. Rose
Grams recently received from Charles
Whitehead, Chairman of the commit
tee ON resolutions Of the National
Veterans association, at Des Moines,
Iowa, copies of resolutions adopted
by that association repudiating the ut
terances of certain members of the
G. A. X. in connection with the pro-
posed visit of the President to st.
Louis, while the q. A. r. encampment
is in session there, commenting on the
Presidents veto of pension bills, con-
demning the efforts OF those who seek
by the rebel flag episode to re-kindle
the flames Of sectional hate, ETC., Gen.
Rosecrans was requested to deliver
copies of these resolutions to the Presi-
dent and Gen. Black. To-day he
called on the President, and in pres
enting the resolutions expressed his be-
lief that they we're in accordance with
the views of . vast majority of the G..
A. r.
The President is replying, said ::
"Without reading the resolutions pre-
sented by you in such q gratifyin
manner I have only to say judging
from the tenor of your remarks the
action Of the veterans mentioned is
in the direction of acknowledging the
duty which devolves upon them as
citizens fred by patriotic service at
home and to demonstrate the same
bravery shown in battle by courage
no less conspicuous when called upon
to defend and maintain the freedom
and patriotism which in peace is the
safety OF American institutions. I'm
derstanding this is to be the purpose
OF the resolu tons, l am glad to receive
them at your hands"

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
Gov. Church and Judge Spencer,
of Dakota, in the Metropolis.

GOV. Cnufcn anu OuOSc spencer,
of Dakota, in the Metropolis.
Gov. Church, of Dakota, and Judge
Spencer, who succeeded the governor
when he was promoted to be executive
of the cOuntry's greatest territory,
dropped into the city yesterday for
brief visit which is without political sig
nifcance. Judge Spencer, who is not as
well known to st. Paul people as he
deserves TO be, is handsome
man of some forty years of age, with
an intellectual equipment that well JUS
titles his appointment. The governor is
too we'll known to require an introduce
ton through the columns of the GLOBE.
In conversations last evening the gov
ernor said that everything pointed to
the biggest wheat yield i'll DakOta's his
tory. and the people felt correspond
ingly we'll pleased. The territory was
going right ahead and making wonder
ful strides. Regarding the YanktOn
asylum matter lie intimated that he GER
tainly would withhold his approval, as
lie lacked confidence in the present
board.
He thought that Cleveland'S letter to
the people of St. Louis was an admirable
document. which hit the nail squarely
on the head. and believed that the pres
ident might make the trip, after all, as
he had intimated to him in late con-
vcrsatiOn his intention Of even coming
as far West as Dakota. The governor
expressed himself as gratified at the
treatment he was receiving from the
press of Dakota, ali but two Democratic
papers. which were actuated by selfish
motives, commencing his administra-
ton warmly, and but two Republican
papers going out Of their way to abuse
him.
Regarding the attack made upon him
by Barrett, of Aberdeen, he said that until
Barrett made the uncalled for attack he
was friendly disposed toward him, and,
though he had never promised him the
railway commissiOnership, he was ell
gagged in ali effort to secure him another
office which the government had in
tended to create. Gov. Church looks as
though Dakota life thoroughly agreed
with him. but he and the judge will
only enjoy the delights of metropolitan
life until Monday. They are stopping
at the Ryan.
